Actress Cheryl Hines, wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., found herself in an awkward moment when former President Donald Trump ignored her handshake during his arrival at UFC 314 in Miami. The incident, captured live on ESPN, quickly went viral, with fans comparing the snub to a scene from her hit show Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Trump, flanked by grandchildren and entourage members, greeted several attendees cageside, including UFC commentator Joe Rogan and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. However, Hines—who stood beside her husband, Trump’s Secretary of Health—was visibly overlooked. Social media erupted, with users joking, “Where’s the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme music?” and questioning if the snub was intentional.

Hines, married to RFK Jr. since 2014, is best known for her role in Curb Your Enthusiasm, where she co-starred with Larry David—the same friend who introduced her to Kennedy. The couple splits time between Los Angeles, Cape Cod, and Washington, D.C.

Trump’s high-profile appearance included companions like Elon Musk—who carried his son, X Æ A-12, on his shoulders—and lawmakers Ted Cruz and Tulsi Gabbard. Despite ongoing backlash over tariff policies that rattled markets, Trump attended the event, drawing cheers from the Miami crowd.

The night’s main card featured a bout between Trump ally Michael Chandler and England’s Paddy Pimblett. Chandler, a vocal MAGA supporter, previously defended Trump’s policies, stating they “reinforce American sovereignty.” Meanwhile, Trump’s attendance continued his trend of blending politics and sports, following appearances at the Super Bowl and NCAA wrestling championships.

While Hines brushed off the snub, the moment underscored the unpredictable intersections of celebrity and politics—proving truth can be stranger than Curb’s satire.
